So little of this comment makes any sense at all.

> The fact that MBS had managed to bamboozle the western media into fawning over his token "reforms" prior to the Saudis brazenly murdering Kashoggi was a disgrace.

If Khashoggi and the Washington Post had stuck to fawning rather than sharp criticism of the Saudi government, he'd be alive.

> It's telling that the media only really started caring about Saudi governmental corruption and criminality after one of their own - a fellow pundit who traveled in elite western circles - was grotesquely killed.

The media "caring" about Saudi governmental corruption is why Khashoggi was assassinated.
No, I'm mainly referring to the NY Post which was pre-emptively banned before Twitter had fact-checked their story. Even after it was proven that the story was true, Twitter refused to unlock their account. It took weeks of immense public pressure and even then the NY Post might've still been forced to delete the "offending" tweets just to satisfy Twitter and get their account back.

I'd settle for it just displaying on the lock screen, so I don't need to unlock my phone and check the statuses to see what my blood sugar is at. That being said, just being able to look to see what my blood sugar is at without having to poke a hole in my finger was a massive change in how I managed my blood sugar. Having alerts for low (or dropping) blood sugar is a great thing, too. Man, I love my CGM (Dexcom G6)... can't say enough good things about it compared to manual blood testing.

I came here to post about the Hep C cure. You did a great job.

Only thing I would embellish on is that, much like software - when something is wrong its easier to treat the symptoms than to fix the problem a lot of the times. So it's really no wonder alot of treatments are amelioration rather than cures.

I recently did a major refactor at work to fix database and caching problems in our backend. It took months but only yielded 50% scaling improvements. Past teams just kept stacking shit and adding hardware and we can all understand why.
None of these really make much sense. Sex is free and not that time-consuming. You can work hard at college and still find time for sex. You can be in debt and have sex with other people in debt without incurring further debt.

Women getting married and having children later should mean more opportunities for casual sex, not fewer.

Boomers have not forced younger people to find hookups on tinder. The argument about competition makes no sense. Everyone can't be outcompeted.

If a generation has chosen only to have sex with its most attractive members, how did that happen? Why does it leads to less total sex? Why is this the fault of older people?
The narrative that you expect to live better than your parents (controlling for the benefits of technological progress like better medicines or cars), is historically aberrant, especially in the USA given the relative state of the US and world economy in say, 1950 (when everyone else was either woefully underdeveloped or recently bombed out of existence).

I think that is the problem... As the US economy shrinks as a percentage of the world economy, you would expect an average life experience in the USA to slowwwly move closer to an average life experience around the world. The latter is moving "up", sure, but there's still a huge gap to move down into.

But, they still teach kids in the USA to expect great life for average effort (or frankly as far as I can tell lately, regardless of effort). I don't think any other country in the world has this mindset; I like what appears to me to be the mindset in some Asian countries (I could be wrong but it seems to me like you are expected to try hard to do better but not in any way led to expect you will) is much healthier.

Right, but then you conclude that it is just incompetent engineering. That may be true in some cases, but in a lot of cases it's because it's not worth it to the business in terms of time or resources to do good engineering. Great engineering is not just about having great engineers, but a huge budget because it's very, very expensive.

The author wouldn't have had that many problems in their life if they had not fetishized honesty and just picked their battles. He mentions his family being proud of their honesty and constantly underlining that aspect of themselves and how it made them better than other people. In this case, it was a package deal: not just being honest, but also going out of your way to confront people when not strictly necessary and reveling in your own perceived wisdom.

Honesty doesn't have an inherent value on its own, nor is dishonesty inherently a problem by the same absolute metric. The value of being honest lies in that it can help bring about positive changes if employed correctly, and dishonesty can be dangerous if it builds into a habit of manipulation and denial. What the author described is just a form of holier-than-you narcissism. Most people who self-label themselves as honest and telling it like it is tend to me more interested in the confrontations themselves rather than the changes that honesty can bring about.
Please see my other replies in this thread. Why are you both guessing at this?
We couldn’t agree more that producing high-quality connectors requires a lot of work. The hardest part about this task is that connectors must evolve quickly (due to changes in the API, new corner cases, etc). The quality of the connector is not just how well the first version works but how well it works throughout its entire lifetime.

Our perspective is that by providing these connectors as open source we can arrive at higher quality connectors. For a closed source solution, a user has to go through customer service and persuade them that there is indeed a problem. A story we have heard countless times, is that SaaS ETL providers are slow to fix corner cases discovered by users leading to extended downtime. With an OSS solution, a user can fix a problem themselves and be back online immediately.

We proactively maintain all connectors, but we believe that by sharing that responsibility with the OSS community, we can achieve the highest quality connectors.

One of the main focuses of Airbyte is to provide a very strong open-source MIT standard for testing and developing (base packages, standard tests, best practices…) connectors in order to achieve the highest quality.
And that's the crux of the issue. You can debate all you want what is considered protected speech and what isn't (Just to get it out of the way, inciting an insurrection should not be considered protected speech) but in the end, if you want rules for the "other side" and not your own then you're not being intellectually honest, and those conflicts of interest exist everywhere.
> algorithm for labor due to drive installation and maintenance ... the rest of us don't have that so a single disk loss can ruin Saturday

TOTALLY true. We staff our datacenters with our own datacenter technicians (Backblaze employees) 7 days a week. When they arrive in the morning the first thing they do is replace any drives that failed during the night. The last thing they do before going home is replacing the drives that failed during the day so the fleet is "whole".

Backblaze currently runs at 17 + 3. 17 data drives with 3 calculated parity drives, so we can lose ANY THREE drives out of a "tome" of 20 drives. Each of the 20 drives in one tome is in a different rack in the datacenter. You can read a little more about that in this blog post: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect...

So if 1 drive fails at night in one 20 drive tome we don't wake anybody up, and it's business as usual. That's totally normal, and the drive is replaced at around 8am. However, if 2 drives fail in one tome pagers start going off and employees wake up and start driving towards the datacenter to replace the drives. With 2 drives down we ALSO automatically stop writing new data to that particular tome (but customers can still read files from that tome), because we have notice less drive activity can lighten failure rates. In the VERY unusual situation that 3 drives are down in one tome every single tech ops and datacenter tech and engineer at Backblaze is awake and working on THAT problem until the tome comes back from the brink. We do NOT like being in that position. In that situation we turn off all "cleanup jobs" on that vault to lighten load. The cleanup jobs are the things that are running around deleting files that customers no longer need, like if they age out due to lifecycle rules, etc.

The only exceptions to our datacenters having dedicated staff working 7 days a week are if a particular datacenter is small or just coming online. In that case we lean on "remote hands" to replace drives on weekends. That's more expensive per drive, but it isn't worth employing datacenter technicians that are just hanging out all day Saturday and Sunday bored out of their minds - instead we just pay the bill for remote hands.
Wasabi is about the cheapest out there. $5/TB/mo with no bandwidth charges. Backblaze is close in pricing and has a better reputation. I use both.

I'm confused. They printed a helicoidal pattern, which is basically a flattened spiral which was absolutely inspired by the Lobster shell.

Why doesn't that qualify as biomimicry?
Just an aside, but I found that I was overpaying for backblaze backup. I switched to duplicati backed by backblaze b2 and went from $5/mo. to more like $1.70/mo. for the backup. As always though, YMMV.
> Nobody would accept interconnected face scanners in every building they walk into but online it's somehow okay.

There are cars with license plate scanners that wardrive the world. They scan plates in shopping centers, businesses, and even apartment buildings so on the off chance law enforcement, repo businesses, or anyone who wants to know where your car is parked can track you.

People accept that. Or rather, most are blissfully unaware that it happens.

If your grocery store added face tracking to their existing security cameras, would you even know it? Would you know if they sold that data?

I ran into the same problem last week. Customer service portals are rarely given priority when resources are allocated, but it's pretty astonishing just how slow such a critical service portal loads over mobile tethering, given that is going to be a primary usecase. I'm practically counting down the days until this summer when a new fiber ISP rollout is supposed to reach me.

If they allow that to happen, they are leaving a ton of money on the table. It's typical in the industry to move hot and cold files around to take advantage of the IOPS you already paid for. See, for example, pages 22-23 of http://www.pdsw.org/pdsw-discs17/slides/PDSW-DISCS-Google-Ke...
The only thing I can come up with is that being aware of the damages in advance of a purchasing decision might in some cases serve to limit said damages relative to being unaware of them. Not sure it applies in a monopoly setting where awareness of damages doesn't give you an alternative though. It gets more complicated when damage is speech instead of a financial exploit on a product.

> These books should help you understand the science behind life's existence

Those can explain how life evolves once it already exists. And there's no argument about that, we know many laws governing those processes, from molecular to population-scale models.

However, nobody was able to show that life can emerge from non-living matter.
So if I run in with a thousand ballots and shuffle them in with existing ballots, unless you can prove that I changed the outcome, that's fine?

As far as Mac Safari recommendations, I've tried most of them. Better seems the leanest and most effective for me. I have no relationship with the developer.

From their website:
"Better is hand-crafted by Small Technology Foundation, a tiny two-person-and-one-husky not-for-profit striving for social justice in the digital network age. We curate our own unique blocking rules for Better based on the principles of Ethical Design."

Nice app.

Be aware, Better actually allows most compact, low compute, non-tracking ads. Anyone who wants to serve me respectful ads that don't abuse my privacy or my compute resources are absolutely welcome on my system. Happy to help. Non-respectful ads are not welcome.

While I'm promoting small Indie browser extension makers, I also like the StopTheMadness extension. This kills lots of rude click/function hijacking that is done by many obnoxious web pages. It also stops a lot of tracking code. Again, I have no relationship with the developer.

Between the two of these, browsing becomes much less user hostile.

The argument that an election is illegitimate because a tiny fraction of facebook ads were funded by Russia instead of wealthy US donors is just as absurd as claims that these elections were illiterate because voter ID rules were suspended for Corona.

Democrats think its voter suppression to ban letting party functionaries go register and collect ballots with out any ID or signature matching. Republicans think its fraud to let party functionaries go register and collect ballots with out any ID or signature matching. You've just decided the former is fact and the later is wrong.

The insane conspiracy theories peddled by Trump associates like Guiliani, Woods, and Powell are far beyond what mainstream democrats said (but not really that different from what fringe democrats said about ROVIAN DIEBOLD MACHINES STEALING OHIO in 2004). While Kerry didn't push these theories, 31 house members and Barbera Boxer in the Senate voted to reject the Ohio votes based on the same sort of conspiracy theories.

And again in 2016, while not lead by Clinton, there was a concerted effort to flip electoral votes--the so called hamilton electors. At least one actually did change their vote.

I'll agree the GOP took it to a new level. But some democrats had previously taken it to new levels in prior elections.

Will work, though in Python I usually just create an outside function and pass that in.

But yes, not everything in Python is nice for working with fp code. Using tuples, coming from Clojure, is painful. Things like returning exceptions for `StopIteration`is annoying. Mutability of lists outside of a lexical scope without using deepcopy. Though functools and itertools makes it more bearable.

But I also don't think types is the answer. I think something like Racket's contracts or Clojure's spec is closer to what I'd prefer. Gradual typing is nice though.
I always assumed this was related to the multiprocess architecture. If you've updated Firefox in the background (e.g. via your package manager), and the new version is not API-compatible, it will not be able to create a content process for the new tab, hence the message.

Obviously this is only a problem on Linux, because on other platforms Firefox's own autoupdater will only apply the update when Firefox is restarting.
Which ones? I think I would like to try your setup, since it sounds like a good compromise between having my data harvested and being kicked off of sites for blocking their ads.
I have in my kitchen + living-room one clock based on NTP on a dashboard, one on a WiFi radio and one on the oven.

Depending on where I am I see one of them so all must be synchronized to the millisecond so that children are not late to school (school is nearby, which exponentially raises the risk of them being late because it is just "4 minutes" away).

This is one of the scientific uses of such multiple clocks.

> It also means that I can remove fonts.google.com from the uBlock blacklist. Yay.

If you are downloading fonts from Google, Google harvests your IP and likely the referring site from the request. Even if your browser doesn't sent the referrer, many sites have a unique enough font-fingerprint that Google can figure out where you are.
> CentoOS Stream is still CentOS to me. Better to say Red Hat will not invest in CentOS point releases, as that is a lot less confusing.

But the point releases will be still there - but only for RHEL.

The sad thing, which makes Stream unusable is, that RHEL does rebase packages between point releases. With the old CentOS you knew, that if there are breaking changes, they would be during point release upgrade. With Stream, you will get them randomly (and they did already happen several times since announcement).

The thing I don't understand about the P2 Max and every other micro laptop currently on the market is why they shun the trackpoint. Now, at least the P2 Max comes with a touchpad. Others like the Mix A1 rely on an optical touchpoint, which is the worst pointing device ever conceived by the human mind. A boiled egg mounted into a trackball mouse would be more pleasant to use than an optical touchpoint.
